---Not available.

1 Included under Asian.

2 Data do not include Vermont, for which 2007-08 and 2008-09 data were not available. In 2006-07, the total number of 3- to 21-year-olds served in Vermont was 14,010.

3 For 2008-09 and 2009-10, data on children of Two or more races were reported by only a small number of states. Therefore, these data are not comparable to figures for later years.

4 For 2011-12 and later years, the total column shows the overall counts of children as reported by the 50 states and the District of Columbia rather than the sum of counts reported for individual racial/ethnic groups. (Due to data limitations, summing the data for the racial/ethnic groups can result in overcounts. For example, for 2019-20, summing these data would result in a total overcount of 27 children in the 3- to 5-year-old age group and 174 children in the 6- to 21-year-old age group.)

5 Data in the 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20 rows include 2015-16 data for 3- to 21-year-olds in Wisconsin because 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20 data were not available for children served in Wisconsin.

6 Data in the 2016-17 rows include 2015-16 data for 3- to 5-year-olds in Nebraska because 2016-17 data were not available for children in that age group served in Nebraska.

7 Data in the 2017-18 rows include 2016-17 data for 3- to 5-year-olds in Minnesota because 2017-18 data were not available for children in that age group served in Minnesota.

8 Data in the 2017-18 rows include 2016-17 data for 6- to 21-year-olds in Maine and Vermont because 2017-18 data were not available for children in that age group served in those states.

9 Due to changes in reporting requirements in the 2019-20 data collection, the number of 6- to 21-year-olds served includes some 5-year-olds enrolled in kindergarten.

10 Based on total public school enrollment in prekindergarten through grade 12. For total public school enrollment, see table 203.60.

11 Enrollment data for 2019-20 are projected.

NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Data include only those children served for whom race/ethnicity was reported. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
